This book focuses on an emerging group of low income South Asian migrants who are increasingly migrating to four Southern European countries: Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. While homogenized under the overarching category of South Asian, the migrant trajectories and migrant experiences and encounters in these host countries are quite disparate and distinct from each other. The empirically rich contributions in the volume examine how national, religious, ethnic, gender, and/or class differences shape differing outcomes in migration trajectories, livelihood strategies, inclusion in host communities, family reunification, and migrant subjectivity for this set of racialized migrants and their families. The volume focusses on four broad themes, namely: Migration governance and labour regimes; Migration strategies and experience - transnational mobility and social mobility; Identity and belonging; and Family and gender relations. This book fills a gap in scholarly works in the fields of migration studies, diaspora studies, and migrant labour, and it will be of interest to students and scholars in these and related fields.
